Father-son prospect to make Collingwood debut – SEN
“The young fella deserves the opportunity.”
Collingwood father-son prospect Will Kelly will make his AFL debut against Hawthorn on Friday night.
Kellys inclusion is on the back of a three-goal performance in last weeks scratch match against Essendon
The young forward is the son of Magpies premiership player Craig Kelly and brother of Adelaide Crows defender Jake Kelly.
Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley says Kelly deserves the opportunity to follow in his fathers footsteps and don the black and white jumper.
Will has done really well over the last 18 months, Buckley told reporters.
His pre-season has been super since moving him forward late last year has been a good move.
Hes got good size, moves around well, work rate through the roof and the young fella deserves the opportunity.
Kelly, 19, was taken with pick No.29 in the 2018 draft.
